Overeem didn’t have a license when the test took place, so he can’t be suspended. He also has the right to request that a second sample that was taken be tested. He had not done so at the time of this writing.

Dos Santos had this to say on his Twitter.

“I don’t know anything more than you guys know and for me it’s between him and the Nevada Athletic Commission. I am a professional and I’m the champion without ever having used anything for better performance results; when you guys see me fighting, that’s really me.”

So now what?

Well, Overeem is acting like everything is cool and has filed for a Nevada fighters license and is scheduled to attend a hearing with NSAC on April 24 to figure out what happens next.

In the mean time, names that have been thrown out there to fill the void have included Mark Hunt, Dan Henderson and Frank Mir. However, White tweeted that the Mir/Velazquez fight scheduled for the same card will happen so don’t count on Mir.

The campaign to get Hunt the title shot is in full swing, but will it work?

I say yes. The UFC could use the social media campaign as marketing for the fight.

I also think Overeem will be denied his license and will be suspended for a year. When that happens the UFC will cut him and he’ll head back to Japan. We have most likely seen “The Reem” for the last time in the UFC.

What do you think? Who do you think will get a shot at the JDS for the strap? What will happen to Overeem at his hearing on April 24?
